This might sound like an odd request. I'm looking for a desktop program
that generates lots of fake email addresses. These would be used on
websites and such to feed the spam bots. Anyone know of such software?
That's not a good idea. It messes with real spiders, such as Google,
archiving bogus info.
I tried shareware used by spammers awhile back. These were quality
programs that can create a file with every permutation, to a user set
length and email each. It took minutes to get every permutation up to
7 characters at hotmail.
In other words, harvesting is not as prevalent as it once was. Open a
new account at a large mail server, like Hotmail or Yahoo, and watch
your account fill with spam like magic, even with their spam filters
in place.
